    potentially deadly.

    It’s actually 100% deadly if you don’t get treatment pretty quickly. First stage takes 2-10 days, that’s how long you have for treatment before phase two symptoms start, and once you’re there, you’re pretty much guaranteed to die horribly.

    Number of people…

    Well that’s informative. I assume it’s a natural number. Is it also prime? Is it four?

    He said a number of people were looking into the bushes nearby, and that’s when he saw the animal, which looked lethargic and confused.

    “I just started talking to the skunk because I’m an animal person. I like to do that,” Haché said.

    “I was saying, ‘Hi, buddy, how you doing?’ And the skunk looked up at me, and turned toward me, and it walked on to the sidewalk and it bit my leg and then it bit my shoe.”

    Isnt most people’s reaction to seeing a skunk in a bush to just get some distance? Also any wild amimal that was acting weird would be giving me alarm bells, maybe thats just hindsight but animals can carry diseases don’t you know!
